There are only so many words in the English language ( last estimate calculated about 750, 000) and the name of your band means a lot of things. How will it represent you? What meaning does it take on? How will it affect you? These bands obviously did not give it enough thought.

(I would like to remind all voters in this poll that the nominations, though overseen, were not picked by the poster. These are almost completely based on suggestions made by the users who submitted nominee ideas. If you decide to attack the user for the nominees then you will only end up humiliating yourself as a result. You have been warned.)

I voted for !!!, just because it's too confusing. But Hoobastank and Fudge Tunnel are pretty awful-sounding.
If you think searching !!! is bad, try X, or The the!

you guys didn't include an awful bandname called Tokio Hotel..
bluestarsareon: 10/29/2007 5:48 AM
I don't really like Boys Like Girls as a name but as a band they are alright.

Panic! actually got their name from Name Taken... they almost got it from the Smiths song but then decided on Panic! At The Disco instead of Burn Down The Disco.
Just to clear that up.

I voted !!!
But "colon open bracket" is also really dumb.

hoobastank sounds more like hoobastink lol, but they r a cool band......

The Cheetah Girls is the worse name ever in my opinion

What? I know it's not the exact lyrics, but it is BASED on the Smiths song, isn't it?

LOL -- this was well thought out. I voted Hoobastank -- always thought it was a super lame band name.
xdinosaursrkickazzx: 10/29/2007 7:20 AM

I think they're all horrid, except for Panic! at the disco, I actually think that it's clever.. Maybe it's just me, though.
alexalgebra: 10/29/2007 8:04 AM
Fudge Tunnel makes me think of Oompa Loompas walking through a cavern of diarrhea. At least !!! is a little bit different/almost-clever.
rottenxvicious: 10/29/2007 8:21 AM
Hmm they're all kinda wierd names, but Red Jumpsuit Apparatus still confuses me.
